| Josh Kelley – Almost Honest Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| i remember hearing josh say, or write, that this song was about a long distance relationship he was in that was basically over. however, he couldnt bring himself to break up with the girl over the phone, and wanted to wait until he could see her again. so in the meantime, his conversations with her were "almost honest." even though he may have flirted with another girl, i dont believe there was any infidelity. "i gave into the loneliness, but i didnt give her nothing else" | |

for those who want it straight from ari's mouth....i found this in an interview online (http://thepaperonline.org/interviews/arihest.php) A: They’re on to me? Ya know, that’s sort of an interesting one because before 9-11 I had started writing that song much more about something that was not a serious topic. I was a high school tutor, and I used to tutor this kid in English and History and stuff. And I wasn’t really good at tutoring, but I did it anyway cuz I had a connection with someone…Ya know, I was always nervous that the parents of this kid were gonna find out that I was a terrible tutor, and that the kid was not doing well because of me, basically, more than just the fact he had, like, A.D.D. or something. So I wasn’t really helping, and I knew it, and I just felt like, ya know, at some point I was going to get fired from that position. So that was how it started, but then, ya know it became more meaningful when 9-11 happened. Ya know, everybody in New York was just pretty frantic. And it’s still, ya know, in a lot of people’s minds, and mine too, that New York is a more fragile place than it ever was. |
